More power, more streams. More bandwidth, higher stream counts, and more processing power than previous EFS generations, in a compact 2U chassis.
Compact and powerful media storage
Ultimate EFS 210
Budget-friendly and scalable. Unmatched performance in a compact format, delivering more bandwidth, more stream counts, and more processing power than previous EFS generations.
EFS 210 Advantages
Performance that scales with you.
Power, protection, and collaboration built into every Ultimate EFS 210 node.
Scale to 432TB, always protected. Add storage nodes under a single namespace, with XOR and COPY protection that tolerates node failures.
Collaborate from anywhere. Swift Link turns your storage into a private cloud and EditShare Connect keeps remote access secure and permissioned.
Edit directly on shared storage. Built-in panels for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve let editors work against the EFS 210 without copying media.
Designed for media creators
Compact, powerful, and ready to scale.
The Ultimate EFS 210 is designed to meet the unique needs of media creators, delivering unmatched performance and scalability in a compact, budget-friendly format. Starting at 32TB and expanding to 432TB clusters, it brings more bandwidth, more stream counts, and more processing power to every production.
What You Get
Everything a growing team needs, in one 2U system.
Scalable storage, enterprise-grade protection, integrated media management, and remote collaboration, all included.
Scalability without complexity
A modular design expands by adding storage nodes while maintaining a unified namespace across the cluster, eliminating complex user and volume management.
Enterprise-grade reliability
XOR and COPY protection schemes tolerate node failures, while SwiftRead lets workstations access alternative nodes during congestion for consistent performance.
Integrated workflow tools
FLOW services and storage run on a single node. FLOW Asset Management handles logging, cataloging, and editing, and ARK automates LTO backup and retrieval.
Collaboration and remote work, redefined
EditShare Connect secures access and enforces permissions, Swift Link turns storage into a private cloud, and Swift Sync synchronizes content between locations.
Centralized control
EFS Control provides complete visibility and control over users, permissions, quotas, and reporting from a single administrative tool.
Built for creative software
EFS integrates seamlessly with the tools your teams already use, with built-in panels for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
